The quixotic quests against soda, as well
as other dietary items, is getting beyond
ridiculous. Leave it to a left wing
extremist from looney California to be the
first to propose such asinine nonsense. I
read through the California Medical
Association's screed about this. It's
nothing but posteriorly derived
pseudoscience. Not a single word of any
paragraph of it has ANY basis in fact..

I agree. If you put a black box on soda then how about putting it on
every box of cookies, cupackes, sugary cereal, bacon, ice cream,
processed meats....I could go on and on. Where does it end?.

Just like the new
car that turns its
own lights on and
off, navigates its
way to the grocery
store, locks and
unlocks itself and
reminds its "owner"
when it needs an oil
change, consumers
are being absolved,
no, ROBBED of any
responsibility to
think or act for
themselves. It would
seem the
consequences of this
on a societal scale
are far worse than
diabetes or whatever
health impact my 8
oz. Sprite nightcap
might present. Last
night I dreamed I
lived among Eloi..
